Sunday is Gaming Day: What Are You Playing Weekly Thread
Hello everyone. Hope everyone has had a good week. I've had a busy week (3 job interviews) but still found time to play a lot of Binding of Isaac since a muscle injury has kept me out of the gym. Hope everyone has a good upcoming week.

I started Farcry 5, having never played a far cry game before. They combine a lot of shit into Eden's Gate which I don't really like. The political commentary is just an aesthetic skin on the world, it doesn't really have any substance. Though, if you take it literally, you're a fed doing a color revolution against a revolutionary regime while pretending you're a smol bean resistance fighter. That kind of accidentally gives you some insight into how little the creators understand the right wing militia movement. It just comes off as if someone listened to some post-2016 podcasts and decided it would make a fresh setting.
I enjoyed it but you really can't think too hard about it. In my opinion, Far Cry 5 actively suffers from being an open world game.
The way the main story directly rips you out of the open world is extremely annoying
Lol yeah it's pretty rough. Around the third or fourth time I got hit with a tranq dart while flying an airplane I kinda lost all interest.
Try Far Cry 3, the best one. The politics are still bad (it's basically "quirked up white boy with a little bit of swag busts it down sexual style.. is he goated with the sauce?" played completely unironically) but it works somehow and it's fun as hell.
Michael Mando as Vaas really took that game up a notch IMO. If being in this game is what gave him the opportunity to play Nacho in Better Call Saul then I say Far Cry 3 was worth it.
Smh can't believe this slander against Blood Dragon, the best FarCry with the best politics.
Blood Dragon is an FC3 expansion pack, it's part of FC3
Was going to say you can play it without owning FC3 but forgot that it's literally called FarCry 3: Blood Dragon lol.
I love that game for the music alone. But yeah, I can't defend it too hard. It's pretty easy to accidentally rush through, making it way better than the standard Ubisoft grindfest every game after that turned into. The fishing minigame is also pretty fun.
